It seems your CAPTCHA today is not working. I keep getting the samecode and cannot submit.
Same here…the CAPTCHA is not working
it didn’t work for me either, but if you refresh the entire page it should keep your info there and give you a new CAPTCHA code.
Sorry to the folks who’ve had trouble with CAPTCHA. It’s a tricky thing. If it’s too easy, then automated spamming tools can slip past it. If it’s too hard, then it frustrates people. Ours is honestly on the easy side. If you haven’t already tried this, close the window, open a totally new window and bring the page up again.
This is one of my favorite quotes from Mother Teresa (although I have seen it in a few different forms, e.g. “God trusts us so much he will never give me more than I can handle. I just wish God wouldn’t trust me so much.”) But it is a great way of telling us — from the most humble/saintly, to the most ordinary, that “God has our back.”
Realizing that I complain a lot – a Lenten reflection.
Do you post the answers? I see winners but never see the answers.
